Comtesse de Bouchaud is a historical clematis variety from France, bred and introduced in 1900. Yet today it is one of the most sought-after reliable clematis varieties with pink flowers. They are 11-15 cm across, soft pink, and open all summer long from June until September. Healthy leaves are medium green. It thrives in full sun and grows and blooms in partial shade, too. It was awarded AGM (Award of Garden Merit) by RHS.
It belongs to Group 3 clematis, flowering on new growths. Cut back all the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds, 15-20 cm above soil level, before growth begins in early spring.
Clematis likes deep, fertile, moist but well-drained soil that remains cool. You can grow a plant below clematis that will provide shade for its roots. Add garden compost in late winter and mulch it well. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
